Earl Howe: ...a very urgent matter. The House listened with admiration to all three, and we look forward to their participation in our proceedings in future. It is perhaps natural for me to begin with the Care Bill. I was grateful for the welcome accorded to the Bill by a number of speakers. As those noble Lords have highlighted, the Care Bill is essential to achieve a modern, clear and fair legal...

Alex Attwood: ...way for the great deal of work still to be done.  Greater clarity will also help to alleviate the anxiety among the many staff impacted by the changes and the uncertainty among elected members who face significant change.

Business without Debate: Development orders: development within the curtilage of a dwelling house (16 April 2013)

Eric Pickles: ...what I am suggesting. I believe that there is broad agreement on the need for greater flexibilities and freedoms for home owners. It is merely a question of detail, and that detail is contained in planning regulations—secondary legislation—which both Houses will be able to consider in due course, separately from the Bill. However, the Government cannot support Lords amendment...

Finance (No. 2) Bill (15 April 2013)

Mark Field: ...was unsustainable. They were a pre-election boomlet, but, as I have said, the entire political class became rather complacent and thought, somehow, that the worst was behind us after the crash of 2008. We now know that that simply was not the case. In 2010 the entire political class should have looked the electorate in the eye and been clear about the magnitude of the task that lay and, I...

Written Ministerial Statements — Communities and Local Government: Work of the Department (Easter Recess) (15 April 2013)

Eric Pickles: I would like to update hon. Members on the main items of business undertaken by my Department since the House of Commons rose on 26 March. Abolishing regional planning Planning and house building works best when it is locally led and people have more control in shaping and deciding on development in the places they live. The last Administration’s top-down approach of imposing regional...

Growth and Infrastructure Bill: Report (2nd Day) (Continued) (12 March 2013)

Lord Adonis: ...which the noble Baroness has offered the House when it comes to a whole range of other projects such as open-cast mining and quarrying. These may or may not be subject to the nationally significant planning routes depending on decisions that the Government will take care of afterwards. It exemplifies the problem we have in this House of making the law. We are very much dependent on the...

Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill (11 March 2013)

Mark Field: I shall endeavour not to stray quite so far from the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill as the right hon. Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Frank Dobson) has just done. No one could accuse the Treasury or the coalition of rushing into banking reform; nor, to their credit, has there been anything other than the most comprehensive consultation with—and without—the banking...

Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill: Report (4th Day) (Continued) (11 March 2013)

Lord Mitchell: ...84AHBA, which is consequential. These would give shareholders an annual binding vote on executive remuneration. Last year, my noble and very dear friend Lord Gavron tabled a Private Member's Bill on the subject of executive pay. Sadly, he cannot be with us today. In the next few days, he is due to have a very serious operation. I know that I speak for the whole House when I wish him a very...

The Earl of Lytton: ...needs some attention. It has great unfairnesses and anomalies. The treatment of exemptions and relief needs looking at. The mounting number of appeals shows that there is a problem. Along with planning and compulsory purchase, this is another administrative system covered by the Bill that is under critical stress. Frequent revaluations have long been known as necessary. For more than 20...

Baroness Hanham: ...within it. As we have said on many occasions, one of the Government's top priorities is to get the economy growing by creating the right conditions for growth.

Clause 24 will support this aim by allowing developers of nationally significant business and commercial development to request to...

Growth and Infrastructure Bill: Committee (4th Day) (4 February 2013)

Lord Jenkin of Roding: ...need for national infrastructure. This is now widely accepted. It is not sufficient to talk about it and to produce lists of things that could be done. One has got to get ahead with it. Much of the Bill-and I welcome this-is clearly directed to that end; to try to remove some of the barriers, speed up the timetables, reduce the bureaucracy that has been involved, and in every way help...

Written Answers — Communities and Local Government: Housing: Construction (28 January 2013)

Nicholas Boles: We consider impacts throughout the policy making process and make full use of available evidence to identify impacts on particular groups and sectors. We do not formally consult on impact assessments as a matter of course, although any comments made when they are published are taken into account when they are revised. I would observe that the Community Infrastructure Levy was introduced under...

Growth and Infrastructure Bill: Committee (1st Day) (22 January 2013)

Lord Jenkin of Roding: I am grateful to my noble friend for raising that point. I am sure that, like me, he has studied the impact assessment and the consultation document, which was also published last month. The consultation period is now closed and I agree with the Constitution Committee's recommendation that we must have the Government's response to that consultation paper by the time we get to Report. I am...

Marine Navigation (No. 2) Bill: Second Reading (18 January 2013)

Lord Berkeley: ...first declare my interest as president of the United Kingdom Maritime Pilots' Association; I am also a harbour commissioner in the port of Fowey in Cornwall. This seems to be something of a Cornish Bill because the noble Baroness, Lady Wilcox, comes from Cornwall-as does Sheryll Murray MP, who introduced this Bill into the Commons. It is rather nice to think that this Bill, which I am sure...
